Speaker Johnson “deeply regrets” that millions of Americans will lose SNAP benefits this week, but 3 months ago, he signed a bill with $186 billion in cuts to SNAP. You can’t make it make sense.

It sickens me to hear Spanish spoken on the streets of Los Angeles, San Diego, Palo Alto, San Francisco, Santa Ana, San Jose, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, El Cerrito, La Mirada, San Luis Obispo

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor.

This is a day I hoped I would never see in America.

I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation — this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.

In case you were wondering what sparked the LA standoff between protesters and federal agents, this is it.

Immigrants showed up for routine ICE check-ins and were detained on the spot.

Hauled into the basement. Held overnight like fugitives.

No warning. No due process. Just snatched.

“Land of the free,” right?

BREAKING: A Florida meteorologist just went on air and said he can’t accurately report the weather anymore, because Trump’s DOGE cuts gutted the satellite data he relies on.

We’re not just defunding science, we’re sabotaging public safety.

And for what? So a billionaire surveillance firm can get another contract while Americans can’t even get a hurricane warning on time?

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: TRUMP just deported a 12 Burmese and Vietnamese citizens to SOUTH SUDAN—a country on the verge of civil war—openly defying a court order that required giving them a chance to object before being sent to a nation that isn’t even theirs.

This is sickening. Impeach (8647) him now. Trump is shredding our constitution.

If I had to reregister to vote, post SAVE Act, I'd need:
a $25 copy of my birth certificate,
a $5 copy of my name change,
a $3 copy of my marriage license,
and an $89 drivers license.

OR a $165 passport.

Not only is it a poll tax, it's also a pink tax.

Old F-18 fighter pilot here with 80+ combat missions - launch times on a strike mission ARE ABSOLUTELY CLASSIFIED.

Wow -- Jim Himes during a heated exchange with Will Cain on Fox News: "I'm not gonna listen to to you tell me that this about a partisan advantage ... it is by the grace of God that we don't have dead pilots of sunken ships right now ... it makes me want to throw up to hear you turn this into a partisan issue. You just need to stop this."

Do you have a bill to stop our nation’s top security officials from war-planning via Signal chat?

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

I’m going to spend the rest of my afternoon posting clips of high-level officials on that Signal text chain demanding “accountability” for Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC.

Nazism has officially taken over the GOP.

The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

Sure a half a billion dollars in food aid that taxpayers paid for is going to spoil and people will die, but at least the billionaires are doing fine.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Translation:

Sometimes I lie to mislead you about my agenda to get what I and the billionaires need from Trump. It’s your job, American public, to figure out what’s true and what isn’t.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Reporter: You cited $50 million worth of condoms sent to Gaza as fraud, but fact-checking showed it was actually Gaza in Mozambique for HIV prevention.

Musk: First of all, some of the things I say will be incorrect. Nobody is gonna bat 1000.

(Eric Trump repeated this lie—he claimed it was $100 million—last night on Fox News.)

[Acyn @Acyn]

Reporter: There are reports that DeSantis is ignoring your calls..

Kamala Harris: Playing political games at this moment…It's utterly irresponsible and it is selfish and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do

Bengals got away with an egregious facemask penalty there.
